#IpswichMA - The #IpswichPublicLibrary just announced the date of their 2026 #RepairCafe!

The next repair cafe will be:
July 25, 2026 from 10am to 2pm

"What is a repair cafe you ask?

A Repair Cafe is a gathering of volunteers who offer to consult on and possibly fix items that would otherwise go to landfills.

A person who has an item that needs to be fixed can bring it to the Repair Cafe and one of the volunteers can assess if the item is fixable and how to fix it. Not every item can be fixed at the event, you will be given next steps to fix the item. Also, did we mention it is totally free?

We are looking for Fixers for our next Repair Cafe!

If you like to fix things and have skills you think will be useful please fill out this form bellow for more information!

Useful fixing skills we are looking for (but not limited to): bicycle, sewing/sewing machine, jewelry, wood , small appliance electrical, caning, ceramic, and knife sharpening."
